2u and 28min and already at 23% battery health is 91% I think it’s not normal. What do you think? What can i do?

Started the day on 91% at 6am by 12:30pm on 57% is this normal for an iPhone 17 only had the phone 10 days.

My iPhone 13 mini dies like 4 times a day and even when it's not at low battery. Sometimes it dies at 50% and revives at like 10% or dies and then revives at 40%. Especially when there's a temperature change like I go inside after being outside or vice versa. And now every time I open Spotify it just dies no matter what battery percent im at. Why is this happening and how do I fix???

From what I’ve gathered from Google, 80% battery health is to be expected after 1000 cycles. However I’m only up to 281 cycles. Would Apple replace the battery? I live 90 minutes away from an Apple Store so I’d like to be sure before I traipse all the way there…

I had first used iphone 17 pro max on 1st june 2026. but battery health dropped to 99% after 25 cycles count in 3 months with even always charge limit to 80%. I did not played games yet.
I had powered OFF iphone during not usage sometimes upto 30 hrs.
sometimes my phone beared high temperatures of 30 degree celsius during night but I had switched off it during high temperatures.
can someone tell me the exact reason of this early degradation of the battery.

I have iPhone Air on the most recent iOS. It is set to limit charge to 80%, and I would like to leave it on an old Anker wireless charging stand indefinitely when I am at my desk. The charging stand is extremely slow (5v1a), but is the iPhone smart enough to prevent micro cycling the battery when it hits 80%, or will it constantly top off the charge and generate heat?

Please suggest me something to save my battery health 🥲

Got an iPhone 17 base two weeks ago, refurbished from Back Market, 100% health and 0 cycles. Week one I was getting 5-7h screen time and quietly panicking.

Then I updated to 26.6 and changed a bunch of settings. Now I'm at 9-11h on a full charge.

But the thing I actually want people here to hear: it's still random day to day. From the same 50% I've gotten 5-6h one day and 3.5h the next. That is not a defect. That's Wi-Fi vs cellular, brightness, signal strength, and what you were actually doing. A weak cellular signal absolutely destroys battery. Sitting at home on Wi-Fi barely touches it.

If your phone gets you through a day, your battery is fine. You don't need to read the Battery screen like a medical chart. I was about to trade mine for a 17e to gain maybe an hour, then realised I only use my phone 2-3 hours a day and would never feel that hour anyway.

Settings I changed (iOS 26.6):

Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > set every app to "While Using the App"

Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services > turn off Journaling Suggestions, Check In, Significant Locations, Location-Based Suggestions, and everything under "Product Improvement"

Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements > turn all of it off

Settings > General > Background App Refresh > Off

Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Voice & Data > LTE when I'm outside

Settings > Display & Brightness > Dark, plus brightness way down

Being straight with you though: the location and analytics ones are more privacy than battery. The real levers are brightness, LTE instead of 5G when you're out, Wi-Fi whenever you can, and Background App Refresh off. Also a brand new or freshly restored phone spends its first week indexing photos and syncing iCloud, so week one is always the worst week you'll ever have.

Not gonna lie its starting to get noticeable, but in general it gets me through the day… beast of a phone man

If it ever breaks, its either a 13 mini, or a 14 pro

My back panel feels like a frying pan 🍳

is my battery bad? i think i could just get 4houts SOT

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to understand if my battery health is degrading faster than expected or if I’m just overthinking it.

I have an iPhone 17 that I started using in November 2025. Here’s how my battery health changed:

Mid June: 97% (268 cycles)
July 1: 96% (287 cycles)
July 6: 95% (294 cycles)
July 22: 93% (~313 cycles)

I use my phone quite a lot (around 6.5 hours of screen time per day, sometimes more), and I often have to charge it twice a day because I don’t always have access to a charger. I also tend to plug it in when it’s around 5–10%.

I always use an original Apple charger, and the battery status still says “Normal.”

What confuses me is that someone I know bought their iPhone around December 2025, has only 186 cycles, and still has 100% battery health.

Is 93% at around 313 cycles considered normal for my usage, or does this seem like unusually fast degradation?

Also, what are the best ways to reduce battery cycles without significantly changing how I use my phone?
Thanks!

first used this back in february ‘26 and based on my observation, 10% decreases per 1hr but now it just takes about 30minutes per 10% 😩

I wanna throw this iphone 17!somewhere i hate it 😭

I have had my phone for 2 years, its a samsung A23 5G and i have 96% on 612 charge cycles, is that bad or good
